Puzzle Rush

[goodchessmind]

Hi Richard:

I was hoping you could implement a new feature called puzzle rush. Chess.com already has this feature and I was wondering if you could implement it on your site or maybe modify it a bit to make it work on your site. The current puzzle rush on chess.com has a 5min timer and increasing difficulty levels of chess puzzles based on rating and you have to get as many correct in the 5min limit. Also you get three strikes, meaning you can only get up to three puzzles wrong in the 5min time frame or else the puzzle rush ends.

I know the feature on chess.com is highly addictive because i see all the streamers on twitch play this game. Hoping your interested in implementing this.

Hi,

It looks like fun, especially competing for rank in number correct in a minute. There is another option for fast paced competition that is probably a higher priority than this, which has been on the todo list for a very long time, namely head to head tactics where you get paired with one or more other players (ideally close to your rating) and get shown the same problems in the same order and you race to finish either the most correct in a time limit or a fixed number correct (haven't decided which yet). I'm hoping this will have a similar fun factor, while at the same time also introducing a more direct competition element.

Regards,
Richard.
